INSTRUCTIONS TO PARTICIPANTS

  • Please confirm sample receipt as soon as you have received and checked the contents of this package, preferably using the fax form that you receive together with this package. Please complete the form and send it to i.i.s. (faxno. ++ 31 181 69 4543) or by email ().
  • This interlaboratory study concerns 2different samples of dried paint (#1001 and #1002) for determination of total lead. You received approx. 0.5 grams of each sample.Please treat each sampleas if it is a routine sample.
  • Each laboratory is requested to analyse the samples in the way it would normally do in day-to-day circumstances.
  • Report the analytical results using the indicated units on the report form. Report in the last column the analytical results, rounded in accordance with the test method that was used. Report in the first result column the same analytical results but less rounded (we suggest to report one extra significant figure) in order to give more meaningful statistical calculations. Also do not report ‘less than’-results which are above your detection limit. Results reported as ‘less than’ cannot be used for meaningful statistical calculations.
  • Complete the report forms A & B(with the requested details of the analysis performed)
  • Please return the completed report form to i.i.s. in Spijkenisse, The Netherlands, preferably one week after sample receipt, but in any case before the indicated closing date: MARCH 19, 2010(preferably by email).
  • If you have any remarks/questions please contact:
